"By the way, Mom, how is Grandpa's health now? Can you come back before we leave?"

Before Zhang Hanlu came back, she thought that she could use her self-taught medical skills to show Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang their physical condition. Unexpectedly, they have been back for four days, and Uncle Zhang and the others also met today, but Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang Haven't seen it yet.

Now that the knots between Dad Zhang and the others and Grandpa Zhang have been resolved, could there be some new crux?
Mother Zhang heard her daughter's question, and while continuing to eat grapes, she replied:

"Oh, you said, your grandpa and grandma, in the morning, your aunt told me that they have guests today, who seem to be distant relatives, and you know the ones in the past, although everyone has said It's open, but the matter over there, after all, was very tense before. We reconciled with your grandparents, and those people haven't shown any signs of reconciliation. Not very clear. However, your aunt also said in the morning that your grandpa and grandma will come back here tomorrow, and you will still be able to see your grandpa and grandma before you return to Country M."

Regarding Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang, although Zhang's mother's knots have been untied, after all, she has had such an unpleasant experience for a long time, and if she wants to say that she completely and completely forgets it, unless she loses her memory.It would be nice if we could live happily together now, and Mother Zhang didn't want to meddle in her own business anymore.

Moreover, what Zhang's father and Zhang's mother did not tell the three children was that when everyone was in a stalemate, the relatives of Grandma Zhang's natal family also played a big role in it, so, until now , the relationship that was already alienated and indifferent, it is really not easy to restore it quickly.Besides, even if they want to reconcile, it depends on whether the distant relatives over there are willing.These things have been going on for too long. Both Zhang's father and Zhang's mother don't want their three children to know. After all, the past has become the past. Now they have repaired their relationship with Zhang's grandpa and grandma. Not to mention the unhappiness, there is no benefit at all, and it will destroy the current harmonious relationship.It's just that I didn't expect such a remote relative to show up again now, and I don't know what caused the current situation.

Speaking of the people in Grandma Zhang’s natal family, they all lived very well. The rich and powerful, the powerful and powerful, have never been very fond of the house of Zhang’s father, who lives in poverty, and they have almost no contact with each other. Said, so many years have passed now, no one on Zhang's father's side knows where he lives there now.

This morning, Ms. Zhang heard from Aunt Zhang that even Grandma Zhang didn’t know much about the affairs there. After all, both sides have developed to this level. There is no such thing as closeness between us.

And this time those distant relatives will come to the door, and I don't know why. Anyway, among the few people who came, only two of the uncle Zhang and his wife can recognize them. The others are young juniors, let alone look Familiar, never heard of it before.

"Oh~~ I'm really curious about what kind of relatives my grandparents have. Mom, do you know?"

Zhang Hanlu's intuition is very keen, and with Xiaoqi's help, she knew that her mother must know something else, anyway, she was idle now, so she asked out to satisfy her curiosity.

"..."

After hearing the young daughter's question about the smooth movements of peeling the grape skins and eating the grapes leisurely, Mama Zhang paused, and looked at the young daughter sitting opposite with a funny look, feeling very proud and emotional in her heart.

Of the three children in their family, one is smarter than the other, the eldest son is mostly simple and honest, while the eldest daughter is a bit weak and lacking in strength, only the youngest daughter is soft and strong, and the past events have proved that , this little daughter is as strong as gentle, and also surprisingly shrewd.

The prosperity of their family is due to the youngest daughter, and the current stable life is also due to the youngest daughter. I believe that if there are no accidents, the future life will be inseparable from this youngest daughter. Mother Zhang is really proud of having a daughter like this .

"What's the matter, Mom? What are you looking at me like that for?"

Zhang Hanlu was a little uncomfortable being looked at by her mother, so she moved her body and changed her sitting position, and asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, the past of the old sesame seed and rotten millet, let alone talk about it, it's all in the past."

Mama Zhang didn't really want to talk about it, but Zhang Hanlu was already interested. The more Mama Zhang didn't want to talk, the more she wanted to hear about it. He took a bunch of grapes with thick skins, peeled the skins for his mother, and flattered her a little:

"Mom, just tell me, I want to know. While you're talking, I'll help you peel the grapes."

Zhang's mother was very funny, but she watched helplessly as her little daughter peeled the grapes and brought them to her mouth. After she opened her mouth to eat the grapes, she could just satisfy her little daughter's curiosity.

"Actually, I really don't know much about the things over there. You also know that we didn't have a good relationship with there before, and we haven't been in touch for a long time. What I know is all about the past. , since you want to hear it, let me tell you, forget it after you hear it.”

"Uh-huh!"

Zhang Hanlu nodded again and again, while continuing to move his hands, he listened carefully with his ears pricked up.

It turns out that the people at Grandma Zhang’s natal family are really capable. Before the economic depression came in the early years, Grandma Zhang’s brothers opened several small restaurants like home cooking. It’s not that they didn’t want to do it. It is not because they do not have the capital to open a large restaurant, but because the profit of small restaurants is higher than that of restaurants. After all, at their time and in their place, small restaurants were more popular than large restaurants. The customer base of restaurants is different, and the customer base of small restaurants is obviously several times larger than that of large restaurants.

In order to attract more customers, Grandma Zhang's brothers and their wives have been continuously learning and improving, whether it is seeking excellence in cooking and cooking skills, or they are also very particular about the service of small restaurants, so that This made the small restaurant they opened stand out among the many other small restaurants. It is unique, the business is very hot, and of course they make a lot of money.

After having a lot of money in their pockets, Grandma Zhang's brothers did not become extravagant, out of tune, and contaminated with bad habits such as gambling. The restaurant should be bigger and wider, and it should be high-end.

Because the business is well-known, and the price is very reasonable, so the popularity in that place is relatively high. Some weddings and weddings, for the sake of face, unless the family life is too tight, most of them will be in the small restaurant opened by Grandma Zhang’s brother. Make a reservation and set up a banquet.

Moreover, Grandma Zhang's father and mother are very knowledgeable. When the sons opened a restaurant and started a business, the money they put out was very clear, and the dividends have always been distributed according to the proportion of the money. Therefore, after such a long time, there has been no conflict because of money, so everyone who knows about this matter admires it in their hearts.

Later, just like Zhang’s family, because the villages were going to be transformed into cities, the first batch heard the news, and they had enough capital to build a tall and spacious house before the restrictive measures of subsidies came. Buildings, when they were subsidized later, all received a large amount of subsidies.

After that, everyone’s living environment changed a lot, and small restaurants could no longer compete with big hotels. Therefore, Grandma Zhang’s natal family reduced the size of the restaurant, rented a house near the new residence, and started. The hotel business, however, because the brothers are best at home-cooked meals, so the subsequent profits are not very ideal.Later, the village where the Zhang family lived also caught up with the urban reform, and everyone was busy with their own affairs, and because of some later events, the two sides became alienated, consciously not wanting to know each other's information, until now.

However, Grandma Zhang's natal family has a better life. Although they have a good vision in doing business, they still look down on the Zhang family. At the beginning, it was because of the separation incident, because of the subsidy issue, etc. There was some unhappiness in the room, especially in Zhang's father's room. This is also the biggest reason why Zhang's uncle and Zhang's father and brothers are unwilling to mention those past events.

Only in the morning, when Mother Zhang asked about Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang who were temporarily staying there, did she find out from Aunt Zhang that Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang had relatives from far away who came in a hurry. But that's all Auntie Zhang knew.However, the aunt of the Zhang family also said that the relatives who came from afar are a true portrayal of "going to the house for nothing". So a few sentences when you meet for the first time, or when you haven't seen each other for a long time, you use very plain and ordinary sentences to greet each other.

According to Aunt Zhang's observation, it must not be very pleasant for them to come here this time, because the smiles on the faces of those people are very fake, very weak, and each of them frowns tightly. , and a few of them looked very haggard.
